IC Prospective | Mycroft 7th year

[watchful_big_brother]

Character: Mycroft Holmes (BBC 'Sherlock')
Mun: Gowa
Plot specific: Not really, just trying out Mycroft as year head boy or prefect?

While I understand that as a student one cannot simply ignore the opportunities to cause chaos when presented with such a situation, I strongly encourage everyone to please do as they are told and avoid stealing into the Forbidden Forest. Things could get... messy.


[filtered to Sherlock]

This friendly suggestion goes double for you, brother. We wouldn't want to upset Mummy with an Owl about how you managed to get yourself spirited away by some over-eager Centaurs, now would we?

Good, good. I'm glad he made your acquaintance - a little humanity will be good for him.

If you think he only counts as a human being because there's no reason someone truly obsessed with novelty and brilliance would bother hanging around me, then you really are one of the worst siblings I've ever known. And mine's been dead to the world drunk the last 3 times I've seen her.

He's always been human, Mycroft.

You're muggleborn, yes? Tell me, have you seen many of those 'movies' about men made out of metal, those 'robots'? I've watched my brother attempt to turn himself into such a thing in terms of ridding himself completely of emotional vulnerability.

He might always have been an organic human being but he was growing a bit too detached with life.

[3houseswatson]

Putting aside the fact that I'm a bit impressed you know what movies and robots are at all, just because he wanted or even tried to be a certain way doesn't mean that he is.

We all try to be things we aren't at one point or another. Some people just try for a hell of a lot longer.

You've witnessed first-hand how stubborn he can be, most likely he'd have kept this up well into his thirties if no one stepped in.

[3houseswatson]

I agree with you for once there.

And yes, he's stubborn, but it often seems like people are making it out to be a much grander thing than it actually is. But then I've been called stubborn myself, so perhaps it's like a fish not noticing it's wet.

[watchful_big_brother]

An astute observation.

I believe I've said all there is to be said on the matter - whether you choose to discern my intent from it is up to you of course.

Good day, John.
